Regression based principal component analysis for sparse functional data with applications to screening growth paths [PDF]
Annals of Applied Statistics 2015, Vol. 9, No. 2, 597-620, 2015 Growth charts are widely used in pediatric care for assessing childhood body size measurements (e.g., height or weight). The existing growth charts screen one body size at a single given age. However, when a child has multiple measures over time and exhibits a growth path, how to assess those measures jointly in a rigorous and quantitative way remains ...

Strongly Interacting Neutrinos and the Highest Energy Cosmic Rays [PDF]
Phys.Rev.Lett. 82 (1999) 1366-1369, 1998 Cosmic rays of energies larger than the Greisen-Zatsepin-Kuzmin (GZK) cutoff may be neutrinos if they acquire strong interactions due to a ``precocious unification'' of forces. A scenario for this to happen is outlined. There is no contradiction with precision measurements carried out at LEP and SLAC.
